7.29 is what percent of 1.038 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1.038 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 1.038, so we can write it down as 100%=1.038.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.038
2) x%=7.29
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=1.038/7.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.29 is what percent of 1.038

100%/x%=1.038/7.29
(100/x)*x=(1.038/7.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.14238683127572*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.14238683127572) to get x
100/0.14238683127572=x
702.31213872832=x
x=702.31213872832

now we have:
7.29 is 702.31213872832% of 1.038
